Eating Raw – New or Old?

October 29, 2009

I was just reading another blog post which was talking about going back to eating the way you were brought up.  She was saying that we are most likely apt to return to the eating habits we grew up with.

Well, I can agree that happens in some cases, but in mine, it’s actually the opposite.  I grew up eating meat every night (and a lot of red meat at that) .  We also had dessert after supper every night.  A treat was Chef Boy-ar-dee pizza (a box with all the fixings to make a pizza.)

I ate a lot of candy growing up.  We had a store around the block from our house that we kids walked to and bought our “penny candy.”  I loved Mary Janes!   Ok, now I”m dating myself:-)

It was when I moved out of my parent’s house that I started to eat differently.  I began eating more fruit, yogurt and salads.  Now, today, I am eating a high raw diet, juice daily and rarely eat sweets.

So, with me it was kind of a “360″ turn around in eating habits.  What about you?  Are you eating mainly the same or differently than what you grew up on?

Please share your experience!
